Avoid an explicit cast from `*const c_uchar` to `*const c_char`

As noted in the `ffi` module docs, passing pointer/length byte strings from
Rust to C++ is easier if we declare them as `*const c_uchar` on the Rust side,
but `const char *` (possibly signed) on the C++ side. This is allowed because
both pointer types are ABI-compatible, regardless of char signedness.
